One of the most entertaining and meaningful ways of keeping cultural heritage alive is through the art of dance. The North Star Nordic Dancers are dedicated to preserving and expressing Nordic culture by performing village dances from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark while dressed in traditional folk costumes. These performances are elevated by live music played with instruments like the fiddle, guitar, nyckelharpa (a Swedish key fiddle), hardingfele (a Norwegian Hardanger fiddle), and the mouth harp. Prepare to be mesmerized by the variety of dance styles performed, ranging from smooth and graceful to springy and energetic, all featuring lots of turning and precise footwork!
